EA back then was taking risks on exciting new IP left right and center

I keep such terrible track of these things. I often have to look up the years each Halo was released! Can you expand on that a bit? What did they try? What failed?

Unfortunately, EA has been on a hyper conservative swing since roughly 2008-2009

All I know off the top of my head is that they cancelled Mass Effect: Andromeda and I'm mad at them for that. I don't know if it's really a new trend or not, but it feels to me that these days if something isn't a 110% hit it is quickly abandoned. Things aren't given time to grow. Heck, it's even a minor surprise that Destiny wasn't cancelled after its initial, troubled release. I guess the hype strength of Bungie's name and past work was enough to prop it up so it could expand and improve into TTK and D2.
